Climate pledges made at the COP26 summit could limit global warming to 1.8C, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Fatih Birol, head of the IEA, said the world was on track to keep warming below 2C if countries stuck to the deals negotiated at the conference.
Meanwhile, COP26 president Alok Sharma has said the “end of coal is in sight” as he hailed a deal struck by major economies to phase out the use of the pollutant - despite China and the US refusing to sign the pledge.
However, the deal has been criticised for the absence of major coal users such as India, the US and China, which last year accounted for over 50 percent of coal production worldwide.
